A small sample - Rather Costly,

This review is from: The Art of Shaving The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave, Unscented for Sensitive Skin, 1 kit (Health and Beauty)
OK folks, this is a relatively low quality starter kit from a really decent company. The Art of Shaving products in general are really nice, albeit a tad pricey. This small kit gives you a nice sample of an entire line of shaving products that work nicely together. The full sized items will cost you about $75 - $100 total.
The included brush is a "toss away" quality brush. This is not just my opinion, but a quote from the manager at an Art of Shaving store. My advice is to get some samples from a department store, then purchase the Art of Shaving shave cream (wow! a great product) here on Amazon, plus either the Tweezerman Badger Brush for $15 or a Best Badger Brush from Crabtree & Evelyn for $35.

Not what I expected from this company,

Even though a set looked exactly like on a picture bare in mind that the box is about the size of a paperback, and it weighs about the same. All the bottles are realy tiny, they look like a one time use products, the once you receive for free with your purchase, and the brush quality is not what I expected from this company. If you are looking for a present you will feel rather embarassed to give it.

This review is coming from a guy who hates shaving because of the serious problems with razor burn and ingrown hairs. I have tried every razor under the sun except for the single blade safety razors including 3 or 4 different brands/types of electric razors. I have also tried various shave creams and aftershave lotions/creams. I purchased this set from a local retailer after hearing some good reviews from other folks. Overall, I have to say the products are impressive.
I was a little concerned about the small size of the products in comparison to the $25 price tag, but wanted to try these out before getting the full-size kit for $100. As far as the size goes, it is small, but you don't need much product at a time to get the effect. I am on my 5th shave using it and I am only about half way through the shave oil (5 pumps is enough for me and my rough and coarse beard). I found that a small dab of the shave cream (maybe the size of an M&M candy) was plenty for lathering up...Read more
